Rutabaga Casserole image

Rutabaga (also known as Swede) is a root vegetable commonly known in the Nordic Europe. It's like a turnip, except it's much bigger and has a yellow colour. This smooth, aromatic, spicy and sweet casserole is common side dish made in Finland around the Christmas time and it very much belongs to my childhood. This type of dish is also known as a "box" (in Finnish, laatikko or loora). I have also posted the recipe in Finnish, here: https://www.kotikokki.net/reseptit/nayta/855376/Lanttulaatikko/
